But the sheer totality of Paulies fall is still shocking.
Up on the block next to reputed human Corey, Paulie declares a strike back.
Im a born-bred competitor, a champion, he explains, before promising to go full-on beast mode.

Question: Which is the beast who cries like a baby?
Is it the brown bear?
The permissive hoot owl?
Paulie cries all alone in the confessional.
He confronts his former bros, despondent, betrayed.
Dont get mad at my strategy!
(Hard to get mad at vapor, Victor).
Paulie asks Paul if he knew, what he knew, when he knew.
Paul has no answers for him; Paul pretends to be offended by Paulies offense.
Ive turned around completely on Paul: From passive disdain to active dislike to hard-won respect to abiding love.
With the rest of his current alliance can we call them the Anti-Paulie Antibodies?
he launches a mission of emotional torture.
No, he will not.
But at least Paulie stuck around long enough to meet Zingbot.
The zings he hurls at the houseguests might be an all-time great run for Zingbot.
James, you love to scare people in the house.
However, this summer, the people youve scared the most…ARE NATALIES PARENTS!
Nicole, watching you on BB16 was a little tough.
Oh, wait…thats THIS SEASON!
NEXT: Inappropriate Zinging of an Intern
Nicole, Nicole, Nicole,Nicole.
Nothing bad to say about her exceptwhy why why why why WHYdid she return this season?
Usually, veteran players come back into the house with renewed clarity and the promise of fixing old mistakes.
Nicole seems dead set on repeating her old mistakes precisely, like a perfect computer program designed for floating.
And America loves her for it!
We deserve President Zingbot.
But, like all politicians, Zingbot has some dirty laundry.
Deleting zings from a private zing server.
Plagiarizing zings from another candidates speech.
Soliciting a zing in a bathroom stall.
Inappropriate zinging of an intern.
Accepting millions of zings from the fat cats on Zing Street.
Pushing an illegitimate bill through Zingress for a Bridge to Zingwhere.
Accepting illegal zing as part of the infamous Teapot Zing Scandal.
Hiring agents to break into Demzingcratic Headquarters at the Waterzing hotel.
Colluding to create traffic zings on the George Washzington Bridge.
Whatever Whitewater was, except with zing.
Corey loses quickly, because someone forgot to replace his batteries.
Paulie loses, too; the supposed champion cant even get on the board in his last round.
James comes in second place, for which he is rewarded $5,000.
Victor wins first place and grabs the veto.
Is this the end of Paulie?
It absolutely, completely is.
I tried to play this game as best I could, he says.
I feel like it brought out the worst sides of me.
Paulie will go out tomorrow, there is no doubt.
Of course, this isBig Brother.
Maybe the end of Paulies game is just the beginning.
Or should I say…the beginZING?
